"I Feel Loved" is Depeche Mode's thirty-seventh UK single, released on 30 July 2001 in the UK and 31 July in the US. It is the second single for the album Exciter.

"I Feel Loved" was played live during most of the Exciter Tour but was pulled halfway through the Europe leg for unknown reasons. On 7 August 2001, Depeche Mode performed "I Feel Loved" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

The B-side is a cover of the Stooges' "Dirt". It was used on the soundtrack to the 2002 movie Resident Evil.

Music video [link]

The music video was directed by John Hillcoat.

There are four versions, one that uses the "Single Version", but with a cold ending, rather than the fading out ending. There are remix videos by Dan-O-Rama, a long version, and a short version. The two remix versions are composed of modified production shots of the original video. The original version wasn't released on a public video until The Best Of: Volume 1 was released in 2006. The other two aren't on a public release. A version using the Danny Tenaglia Radio Edit of the song also exists, but was pulled from the official website and the label's effort to promote it were scrapped.

The original video features Depeche Mode performing in a club. The setting makes for a hot, sweaty ambience. The club is stormed by policemen with dogs, apparently trying to close down the gig. The audience, however doesn't seem to mind the intrusion and some girls play with the dogs.
